Anyway on with the story...
Chapter 6
Casie Winters had moved in next door to the Halliwells a few months back, and the place kind of weirded her out, mainly the strange noises that seemed to happen morning noon and night, and there always seemed to be repair men in fixing something!
Today didn't seem like it was going to be any different; Casie was putting her cat out when she heard a loud crash and someone scream 'Chris'.
Casie froze unsure of what to do, but her curiosity got the better of her and she sneaked a look over the fence. What she saw shocked her, this guy was sprawled out unconscious on the grass, bleeding and there was glass everywhere.
She quickly tried to climb over the fence, but failed miserably as she was so small, so she grabbed on of the garden chairs to help her get over, muttering to herself.
"Note to self, grow at least another two inches taller!"
Casie quickly kneeled down beside the guy and checked if he was breathing, she signed in relief when she found he was.
"Err...wake up...come on please wake up!" She urged, but she couldn't help but keep thinking that whomever had thrown this guy – hadn't someone yelled Chris, was that his name? – out of the window could still be around, but before she could think anymore about it she felt something wet touch her fingers.
Looking down she saw blood, but it wasn't hers, it was Chris', and it was then that she noticed the large shard of glass in his neck, that's when Casie really started to panic.
"Ok, I gotta get help!" She looked down at Chris and added although she knew he couldn't hear her, "I'll be right back."
Getting up she rushed over to the broken window and stepped into the manor, scanning the room she saw no one.
"Hello? Hello anyone here? I really need some help! HELLO?" Casie called, but there was no reply
Realising she was on her own she rushed back to Chris, who was bleeding quite badly, but she had enough sense to know that he could die if she took the glass out, in case the it had punctured an artery in his neck. But she didn't know what to do, nothing like this had ever happened to her before.
Then it hit and she felt so stupid, how could she not have thought about it before now? Casie fumbled in her jeans pocket and pulled out her mobile phone (A/N: I'm British so work with me here! I know you call them cell phones but we call them mobile phones!) and dialled 911.
"Hello, what service do you require?" Came a voice on the other end of the phone.
"Ambulance please."
"What's the address?"
"Err...1329 Prescott Street."
"One is on it's way now..."
"Thanks." Casie interjected then hung up, stuffing her phone back into her pocket.
What was confusing her the most was how the pool of blood around him was growing, yet the wound in his neck wasn't bleeding that badly, so where was all the blood coming from? She gently turned Chris on his side; his shirt was torn to shreds and underneath she saw a long gash along the small of his back.
"Oh no..." She whispered as she removed her jumper and pressed it against his wound, trying to stop the bleeding, all the while thinking of the ambulance and saying over in her head. 'Please hurry, please hurry.'
Meanwhile in the shadows...
A figure stood watching Casie tend to an injured Chris.
"Well it's a little unexpected but I can easily work it to my advantage." The figure said to himself, then retreated back into the shadow until he was gone.
Meanwhile at the Bay mirror...
Phoebe had just got off the phone with Paige, who had said she would get home as soon as she could. Phoebe grabbed her bag and laptop, and headed for the door, stopping to fill her secretary in.
"Hey there's a big emergency, Leo's really sick, so I'm going to be working from home ok?"
"I thought your sister and Leo split up?"
"Yeah but they got back together, anyway could you forward all important calls to the house please?"
"Sure. I hope he's ok."
Phoebe smiled. "Me too." Then she quickly exited the building.
Meanwhile at the manor...
The ambulance had arrived, and two paramedics followed Casie to where Chris was.
"What's his name?" One paramedic asked.
"Chris." Casie replied then muttered under her breath, "I think."
"Chris can you hear me?" The other paramedic called as they checked his vital, before shifting him to the stretcher.
"What happened?" He asked as they took Chris down to the ambulance.
"I don't know, you see I live next door, and heard this crash and found him like that." Casie blurted out in one breath.
"Ok." They pushed the stretcher with the unconscious Chris into the back of the ambulance.
"Can I come?" Casie asked, she wanted to make sure he was ok, and he didn't have anyone else.
"Sure." With that she climbed in and sat next to Chris, the door closed behind her.
Phoebe drove past the ambulance on her way home but thought nothing of it and quickly parked and ran up the steps to the house.
"Piper? Piper?" She called as she walked into the hall, but she got no reply.
Phoebe ran up the stair to check on Leo. He was still unconscious in bed and deathly pale, with Wyatt sitting beside him. Phoebe picked her nephew up.
"Wyatt, daddy's not feeling well, so lets go try and find mommy!"
Phoebe searched the house and tried calling Piper's mobile, but got no answer, the only reason could be that Piper had disappeared again. But what was worried her the most was when she got to the sunroom and saw the broken window.
Paige's timing couldn't have been better as she orbed in.
"Hey how's Leo?"
"Not good, but look." Phoebe said pointing to the window, shifting Wyatt in her arms slightly, he was getting a bit big to be carried all the time.
"What happened?" Paige asked as she walked up to the window, looking outside she saw the blood and glass outside. "Oh my god look there's blood!"
Phoebe handed Wyatt to Paige and stepped out of the broken window and stuck her index finger into the blood.
"Where's a premonition when you need one." Phoebe muttered, but she soon found her herself being pulled into one.
She saw Chris thrown through the window and land painfully on the grass. A demon stepped up to the window, laughed and shimmered out, the next thing Phoebe saw was Piper running towards Chris.
"Oh my god CHRIS!" Piper shrieked before she disappeared.
Chris called out to Leo, but he didn't come, then he whispered, "Dad?" Before his head rolled to one side, as he lost consciousness.
"Oh no!" Phoebe whispered as she snapped back to reality.
"What did you see?" Paige asked as Phoebe stepped back into the sunroom.
"Chris, he's hurt bad, and Piper disappeared again."
"Where's Chris now?"
Phoebe shrugged. "I dunno, maybe he disappeared too!?!"
"Maybe." Paige said as she sat down on the couch, and bounced Wyatt on her knee.
"We gotta find Chris though, cause from what I saw he's in need of some healing, like now!"
"Yeah." Paige agreed. "But we better fixed the window, before the neighbours start to get suspicious!"
When Phoebe nodded Paige started the incantation.
"Let the object of objection, Become but a dream, As I cause the seen, To be unseen."
In a flash of blue light the window appeared, as good as new.
"Now what?" Paige asked, she was worried for her family and didn't know were to begin to start fixing their long list of problems.
Meanwhile in the ambulance...
The paramedic was tending to Chris in the back, who had lost a lot of blood, and his breathing was becoming uneven and slow.
Casie looked on, more scared for this guy which she had only just met, than she had been her entire life. She watched as he took in a ragged breath, she waited for him to take another but he didn't.
"We're losing him." The paramedic said as he began compressions.
Meanwhile in the manor...
Piper reappeared and continued to run toward the shattered window to Chris, not realising she had lost another chunk of her life, and ran straight into the newly reformed window.
She staggered backwards rubbing her forehead.
"Piper you're back!" Phoebe squealed.
Piper turned to her sister, her worried expression telling all.
"Where's Chris?" She asked as a single tear slid down her cheek, she hoped she wasn't too late.
